Alachua Chronicle adds new option for donations

Alachua Chronicle has added a new option for donations – Revere Payments.

Revere Payments advertises itself as “Payment Processing Without Bias” and was founded for the purpose of protecting U.S. companies’ rights to do business, regardless of their beliefs.

PayPal and Venmo will continue to be available to donors, and recurring payments previously set up with PayPal will continue.

Donors are an important part of our revenue

We want our readers to share stories with family, friends, and neighbors in order to keep local residents informed about local government and events in our community. That’s why we are a subscription-free news service with no paywalls. Unfortunately, reporting the news is not free, especially when you consider the number of meetings our local governments hold every week, not to mention investigative articles that require public records requests and background research. A predictable income stream, powered by your donations, allows us to plan for future growth.

We encourage regular readers to set up a recurring monthly payment as if it were a newspaper subscription. Because processing fees can take a significant chunk of small donations, a single annual donation is better than small monthly donations that add up to the same amount (you can set up monthly or annual recurring payments), but with that said, we’re glad to take donations in any amount via any method you prefer. You can also mail checks to Alachua Chronicle, PO Box 344, Alachua, FL, 32616.

We hope you will consider setting up a recurring donation with Revere.

Donations can be made via any of the payment processors here.
